I still am at a lost why they choose the worse design the ring with the hole on the outside looked to me as a better option think it was the belgs that had them looked like you slipped a peg type chip in apart from been plastic looked to be best design imo

Welcome to Pigeon Basics , we hope you enjoy our site

most say about 10 weeks old personally i believe this differs from one strain to another some mature much quicker than others , once the birds are ranging and going of for an hour then stop ranging , i believe this is the best time to get them in the basket , but ill be starting mine off on 1st of July they will get put in the baskets in there loft the Friday before and be fed and watered that weekend then released on garden on the Sunday this should calm them down prior to road training on the Monday then at least then they wont be afraid of the basket and should reduce stress

i think the ruling is out of order as race rings should not be tampered with , that's already within there rules i say leave them alone

if you have all day yes lol , but there's safety in numbers , so if want to liberate a bird every 30 minutes go for it but better to do it with birds that are already trained and schooled

10 miles is ok but your relying on them returning in a big batch to the area before breaking up , it will work for some but not for all , i like mine up to 30 mile x 3 times , rather they use there own brains than follow the pack as if ever got left on there own they'd be looking to join a bigger bunch

everyone to there own 1.5 miles is not far enough to train your birds the least id take them is 5 miles , once my young birds are racing i'd only give them two more tosses before there next race , then id just keep them exercising around loft

feed them up and toss them up if in good nick in a few days time so they've had chance to recover , if flown out better to keep them contained and report them and any birds that wont clear sometimes better releasing away from your loft if you can

just report them online and include the year aswell http://www.rpra.org/StrayPigeonReportingGuide/tabid/104/Default.aspx

you need the full numbers and prefixes then we can get the clubs they were issued to

give your number to ken to slip to his mate on allotment if hes willing to do it for ya
